love love love this coral wine stopper
how cool looking is this silver plated coral wine stopper? as far as i’m concerned, coral anything rocks, as long as it’s fake or vintage. did you know that tiffany & co is one of the few companies that won’t use genuine coral in their designs. three cheers for them!
“Consumer demand has also placed corals at risk. Popular products include coral jewelry, home decor items and live animals used in home aquaria. Corals grow so slowly it can take decades for them to recover, if at all. Catches of precious red corals, the most valuable of all coral species, provide a striking example of how demand for a fashion item can decimate a species. Red coral populations have plummeted 89 percent in the past two decades. Conscientious companies such as Tiffany & Co. removed real coral from their product lines over five years ago.”
